Day 273 - H.P. Lovecraft's "The Popcorn Out Of Oklahoma", "Time Bikini", The Film Clearly Derives From A Derivative Derivation, A Minimal Swarm, The Gamers Quickly Solve The Mystery, and "Rainman Over The River Kwai"

Mr. Brown
2:40 PM Mr. Silver
"The corn can be used to make flour or popcorn, although it is not recommended to eat it straight off the cob."
"What happens if you eat it off the cob?"
"Remember that scene with Violet Beauregard in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?"
2:41 PM Mr. Brown
Yes!
2:42 PM Mr. Blue
"The Courn out of Space"
2:42 PM Mr. Silver
"What colour is the corn?"
"Hell, I dunno...it's kinda...everything."
"Red? Blue? Green?"
"Yeah, all them."
"AMAZING!  Must be alien!"
"Uh...I just ain't good at describin'.  I got a picture of it if you wanna-"
"PROOF OF ALIENS!!!"
"Like...Mexicans?"
"What other strange properties does it have?"
"Wull...it shines, and it pops up good.  I'm tellin' you, if you wanna see wh-"
"It shines in the dark and explodes!  My God!  What hath thou wrought!?"
"He rotted some corn, I guess.  Mister, you're passin' strange, even for city folk."
2:49 PM Mr. Silver
@Mr. Blue - Clever spelling, BTW...took me a few seconds to get it, but I was rolling by then.
2:52 PM Mr. Blue
;D
Mr. Brown
They only ever used it for flour, I believe.
So they never really made a variety to just eat off the cob.
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
Who?
2:55 PM Mr. Brown
I think the native Americans.
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
It doesn't seem likely.  I thought they popped it too.
2:58 PM Mr. Amethyst
Mr. Silver is right, they did pop it.
Just another way to preserve it.
2:59 PM Mr. Brown
I wonder who figured that out.
2:59 PM Mr. Blue
It was probably an accident.
2:59 PM Mr. Brown
Dang it Running-With-Snakes, you put the fire to close to the field again.
Wait. What's that sound? Whats all this white stuff?
3:00 PM Mr. Amethyst
They probably burned the trash and the cobs had a few kernels left. Pop!
3:01 PM Mr. Blue
“Evidence of popcorn from 3600 B.C. was found in New Mexico, while even older evidence was found in Peru.”
3:01 PM Mr. Brown
Well, potato chips were an accident too.
(No, potato chips were clearly an “On purpose”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Crum – Mr. Silver)
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
"Bowls with a few unpopped and burnt kernels were found set on comfortable seats in front of cave paintings."
3:03 PM Mr. Blue
It's a smart idea.
"How do we take these small kernels of sustenance and increase their size by about 8 times with minimal time & effort?"
3:08 PM Mr. Silver
Well...between popping for 3-4 minutes to make corn edible...and grinding kernels between rocks for hours and destroying your joints.
Popcorn as a discovery is fantastic.
3:12 PM Mr. Silver
Eating it fresh is great too, of course, but if you have to store it and want to eat fast...win.
You don't have the teeth wear either.
See, it turns out it that when you stone-grind grain, the flour has something called stone in it that grinds up your teeth.  Who knew?
3:14 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
Sandpaper flour.
3:15 PM Mr. Silver
Its one of the ways an archaeologist can roughly figure out the age of a person's skull...how bad the teeth are worn down based on local diet.



Mr. Brown
11:46 AM Mr. Brown
I like how on those book covers they put bikini clad women. Like that's how they were caught.
LOL
11:47 AM Mr. Silver
It must have been.
11:47 AM Mr. Brown
I’m in a dinosaur infested place in my bikini. Oh no he sees me running!
These book covers look like the start of bad porn films.
LOL
11:48 AM Mr. Silver
Or a bad B-movie from the 70s-80s.
11:48 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah. LOL
Planet BABES
They are more advanced than us yet they only wear bikinis. Hmm.
11:50 AM Mr. Silver
"Busty Bikini Babes in the Big Bad Bod-aceous Era of a Billion BC!""
11:50 AM Mr. Amethyst
“Bouncing”
After babes.
11:51 AM Mr. Silver
(looking at poster) "Think this is one of those sexploitation movies?" 
"I dunno.  Let's check it out."
I like this title...let's film it.
"Title editing by Mr. Amethyst"
11:53 AM Mr. Amethyst
Awe yeah!
11:53 AM Mr. Brown
"TIME BIKINI" - An unsuspecting blossoming blond scientist, working on a new bikini to help women everywhere, is transported back in time when she accidentally invents a bikini time machine.
11:53 AM Mr. Silver
This film is getting better.
11:54 AM Mr. Brown
She spends half the film naked cause the bikini fell off and she is trying to get it back from the dinosaur that has it stuck in his teeth.
11:56 AM Mr. Brown
She also spends the naked part of the film evading neanderthal man, because this is not a real science film.
12:05 PM Mr. Silver
Well, she'd need both top and bottom to control the Time Bikini, so she'll have to lose the top or bottom or both throughout the whole film until the end.
12:22 PM Mr. Brown
We should rename it Debbie Does Dallas Again
LOL
(That film already exists – Mr. Silver)
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
Debbie Does Dinosaurs?
But no...I like the current title.
This film must be made!



8:37 AM Mr. Blue
I watched Wall-E yesterday.
It was good, but sad, which I guess I expected.
People on IMDB were complaining it ripped off 2001?  I didn't see that, but it certainly seemed influenced by Silent Running.
8:38 AM Mr. Silver
There was no relation in any way to 2001
It's not like an intelligent computer is new and Wall-E's didn't want to kill anyone.
“Tron is totally a rip off of 2001!  Doesn't everyone SEE this?!?”
8:42 AM Mr. Blue
Someone else on IMDB called it "Pixar for people that hate Pixar"
I also watched The Wave. It's based off a TV movie from the 80s which itself is based off a high school experiment from the 70s
8:44 AM Mr. Silver
Weird
8:44 AM Mr. Blue
Kind of a "see how quickly a group of human beings can devolve" scenario.
9:11 AM Mr. Silver
Can't you see how The Wave rips off Wall-E?!?!
9:14 AM Mr. Blue
The Wave is a rip-off of Triumph Des Willens, what with all the German speaking.
9:15 AM Mr. Silver
Nay!  it's a rip off of Birth of a Nation!
9:15 AM Mr. Brown
A rip off of The Brave Little Toaster!
9:15 AM Mr. Silver
Birth of a Nation is ripped off of Edison's 'The Sneeze"!
9:16 AM Mr. Blue
Everything is a rip-off of Warhol's “Empire”, what with the cameras and the filming and all that.
9:20 AM Mr. Silver
Right...like having a Best Boy is SO original.
Morning Mr. Gray.
@Mr. Gray -
"Be aware that some reviews on IMDB come from people who have no critical perspective talents."
9:22 AM Mr. Blue
Most are nonsense, but I thought the 2001 complaints were particularly bizarre. Most of the time I check IMDB after watching a movie just for the hilarity.
9:26 AM Mr. Blue
Someone suggested that the wave was about Cbama, even though it came out in 2008.
9:29 AM Mr. Silver
"The Black Hole" = Disney's rip off of 2001, with lasers.



Mr. Yellow
I am so creeped out right now.
A frickin' swarm of roaches poured out of a firewall.
11:34 AM Mr. Silver
Ewwww
11:34 AM Mr. Yellow
Yes, and I have a mild to moderate phobia of bugs
I am going to lunch then spending as much of my time outside today.
We are getting the placed bug bombed tonight.
*shiver*
12:31 PM Mr. Gray
Hehe.....I didn’t know he had a phobia of bugs *plots bug swarm for next D&D game*
12:47 PM Mr. Blue
*actual* roaches? or just those water bugs that look like roaches?
12:48 PM Mr. Gray
I bet he couldn’t tell cause he was too busy jumping on a chair and screaming like a girl.
12:48 PM Mr. Silver
He didn't say.
"Swarm" = 1 bug.



2:38 PM Mr. Brown
2:42 PM Mr. Silver
(Mr. Gray and Mr. Silver look) "Druids..."
2:44 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
2:44 PM Mr. Gray
LOL



2:48 PM Mr. Brown
2:50 PM Mr. Blue
The Thai-Burma railway was a real horror show.
It's not well known in the US because I think most of the POWs were from the British Empire.
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
"I'm an excellent engineer...yeah.  Definitely good running the Thai-Burma.  UH OH!  Time for torture.  Time for torture.  Yeah...."
3:05 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
"Rain Man in history" has lots of possibilities.
3:06 PM Mr. Silver
"I got the job from the Japanese...yeah...definitely the Japanese..."
"Hey!  Listen, Raymond!  The Japanese?  SUCK!"
"You should keep shooting the guards...yeah...lotta bullets left...lotta bullets..."
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
"Three thousand four hundred and ninety...two bullets."
3:09 PM Mr. Brown
I buy my underwear in Tokyo. Definitely Tokyo.
3:10 PM Mr. Blue
"Uh oh! 15 minutes to war crimes tribunals."
3:13 PM Mr. Blue
"My dad lets me drive slow on the death railway."
